About the author

An avid writer since crafting a moving story of a penguin trying to find his way home (sadly no longer in print) when he was a mere six years old, Mark has started hundreds of novels and written millions of words.

Recently learning how to curb his imagination and actually get something done, he now writes character-driven suspense thrillers, often with supernatural elements.

Like all great authors, he writes about himself in the third person, as though he has enough money to afford a publicist.

Lies

The two Alex’s are confused on what they truly should be doing and end up solving another who done it.

Their relationship has a rift going and other issues but they continue to have their marketing firm more part time.

I read this only to see if the marriage is fixed. Found the writing long winded and much unnecessary and repetitive. Did not enjoy the style of writing in the least Will read none of the follow-up books. Sorry, author- you don't need this. Was surprised the books were written by a male.
